Wasaka & Merrill
Liberate yourself from Ego False Authority. Step into the Beauty of your Being and find Belonging and Bliss.
Wasaka and Merrill follow the outline of Ten Philosophical Mistakes by Mortimer J. Adler (1985) and discuss these ideas in this book from a Buddhist context and from A Course in Miracles perspective. While it could be said that Adler’s take on “Human Existence” is astute and well argued, it is only peeling the skin off the onion. He’s not in a position to be offering a final conclusion, nevertheless this outline makes for a good discussion.
"It is the end of the world as we know it..." Marek and Merrill talk about the Earthquake in Utah and the symbolism of the trumpet falling from the top of the Mormon Temple. In the second half of the podcast the subject turns to having faith during COVID-19 crisis. Marek asks the question: "What does it mean to call Jesus 'Savior' verse 'Redeemer'?" Merrill talks about "holiness" and introduces a concept that he calls "that was then, this is now." What is Salvation? Merrill breaks it down from A Course in Miracles perspective.
The fear and attack levels are reach a fever pitch as a result of the corona virus, but what does it mean to be spiritual at a time like this? Why do people suffer and what can be done about it? Marek and Merrill continue to address "the meaning crisis" facing humanity as they discuss the keys to spiritual awakening.
Wasaka and Merrill have a spontaneous discussion at the dinner table about the "Left Brain" which lead into a spiritual conversion. "Fear and attack," Merrill says, "is the humanist gospel and it is directly opposed to the real gospel of loving one another. "
“Speaking words of wisdom, let it be…” (Part Two of “Be the Light”) Polyvagal Theory in light of A Course of Miracles and Steps to Knowledge. Marek and Merrill talk about moving Beyond Belief, toward faith and knowing who you are with absolute certainty. Are you on an inbound journey toward heaven (accepting your ‘beingness’ and true identity) or on an outbound journey? You can turn it around. Nothing is stopping you from Breaking Protocol but your belief in separation. Why not Remember who you are, return to bliss, and let it be?
What does this mean: "Let your light shine..." ??? Merrill talks about his Near Death Experience (NDE) and the insights that have come to him after that mystical "crossing over" experience. Merrill goes on to explain how he now has the ability to "send light" from his aura to the aura of other people, and he goes on share with you a meditation he was given to do this spiritual work.
Wasaka and Merrill talk about ego-validation and how we fall into self-deception when we bullshit ourselves. This leads into a discussion on 'The Good, the True, and The Beautiful' and how we must replace fear with love. "This how we return to our home on the other side" Merrill says. He goes on to explain what we call heaven is all about hearing 'the Call to Beauty' and responding with 'obedience' -- we do this effortlessly by accepting who we truly are (entering into the depth of our Beingness) and letting our Light shine.
